@Sangeethmathew I agree. We use every one of those, except Youtube and Tumblr. They are really a good way to connect with the customers and be able to promote your business and products.

Hi,

 jessbru99568 happy to know you are using the social media avenues well. YouTube is supposedly the second most used search engine on the web. YouTube searchs total more than Yahoo+Bing+Ask put together. It would be a great idea to see your awesome yummies over there too. :-)

We actually found out the advertising power of Facebook today. A food group put up a post today about our products, within a short time it had more than 30 shares and other allergy friendly groups were also posting about our products. We got several new customer email inquiries and lots of orders. Its amazing!
